FISTF Age Categories

Tournaments are divided into different age categories.

Players may normally play in only one category at each tournament, apart from the U12 (see below).

Only if the organizer allows it, players can compete in two categories.

For the season 2017/2018 the categories are as follows:

Open
Veterans: players born before September 1st, 1973;
Under-19: players born from September 1st, 1998, until August 31st, 2002;
Under-15: players born from September 1st, 2002, until August 31st, 2005;
Under-12: players born from September 1st, 2005 onwards;
Ladies: female players only, of any age.

For the seasons 2016/2017, 2017/2018, 2018/2019, 2019/2020 and 2020/2021, the age limit for the veterans’ category will raise to over age 44, over age 45, over age 46, over age 47 and over age 48, respectively.
